Schacht-Reeves Saxony Double-treadle wheel

Schacht has gotten together with Rick and Marge Reeves to create a new Schacht saxony wheel. The wheels are available:

• in either 24" or 30" diameter.

• with single or double treadle.

• in ash or cherry wood. (They will be making wheels in ash first, so the cherry will take longer.)

Contact the shop to order one or get more information!
